00:00Yeah, let's take a look at those wide receivers.

00:05The pass catchers are certainly going to be instrumental and a lot of question marks here

00:08on who's that official number one now for the 49ers.

00:11Is it now Juwan Jennings who is listed at 68 and a half?

00:14You take a look at the Rams here.

00:15You would have thought Cooper Cup would always be the number one as long as he's on the team.

00:18That's no longer the case.

00:19Puka Nukuwa has been nothing short of spectacular, Tom.

00:22He's listed at 88 and a half, receiving our site to Cooper Cups, 62 and a half, and also

00:27the Deebo Samuel scenarios tonight.

00:30I want the ball more.

00:31We've got to get to the football more.

00:33Does he score touchdowns?

00:34Does he run the football, Tom?

00:35Does he catch passes?

00:37Give us some looks here from these receiving props.

00:39So for the Rams, absolutely love Cup over 62 and a half.

00:42He didn't play against the 49ers last year, but historically Cup has absolutely torched

00:46the 49ers dating back to 2022 and 2021.

00:49He went for 122 yards, 79 yards, 122 yards again, and 118.

00:53So give me Cup over 62 and a half.

00:55I don't mind him alting him to 70 plus as well.

00:57On the Deebo side, love Deebo for a TD.

01:00We'll play the squeaky wheel narrative.

01:01I love that.

01:02Combined with the Isaac Arendo, you know, question mark, it is what it is.

01:05Pat Taylor to me and their Keishon Vaughn, Israel Abon-Ikonda could be seeing some carries.

01:12I will take Deebo coming out of the backfield potentially for a rushing plus receiving.

01:15I do like his touchdown prop at plus 145, but George Kittle, I think is the answer for

01:19the 49ers.

01:20They have this inefficiency running the ball.

01:22George Kittle is that safety net for Brock Purdy, and he doesn't have to be that downfield

01:26option.

01:27He is the moving the chains.

01:28Let's pick up some first downs.

01:29Let's get this offense moving options.

01:31So I love Cup.

01:32I really like the Deebo TD, but I think the yards for Kittle are actually the safest,

01:36especially if I'm personally not expecting Arendo to be a full go tonight.

01:40Yeah, Vecchio, as you alluded to, Pukanukuwa has been that top target for Matthew Stafford

01:46when both guys have been on the field.

01:48We were wondering if both guys were healthy, playing alongside each other, who would be

01:53that number one?

01:54Cooper Cup has still been able to get his.

01:57We saw the vision of the Rams offense last week, of course, against the Buffalo Bills.

02:02I do want to go back to Deebo Samuel, a guy that has been banked up at times this year,

02:07and maybe is not 100% fully healthy with how ineffective he has been.

02:12But Tommy's played in 12 games.

02:14He has two total touchdowns, one on the ground, one through the air.

02:18Why is tonight different?

02:20Why is Deebo Samuel going to score against this L.A. defense?

02:25We can factor in, like I said, the Gorendo health, the lack of consistency from their

02:31offense overall.

02:32But when push comes to shove, Deebo is a great option to have the ball in.

02:35I would say that Juwan Jennings is a better traditional route runner, from an actual wide

02:39receiver standpoint.

02:40But getting Deebo the ball is important, when again, their season is approaching being

02:44on the line.

02:45They need to focus on getting him the ball.

02:47So I wouldn't be surprised to see him have four, five, six carries coming out of the

02:52backfield, another four or five receptions, getting him close to 10, 11 total touches.

02:56So the rushing plus receiving and just the utilization he has in the offense, as I've

02:59always said, the bubble screens, the jet sweeps, whatever it might be, getting Deebo the ball

03:04is a good thing for the 49ers offense, and they need that product on offense today.
